Re: Our Community only gets 5 figures
I'll try to limit myself to only two "C3V/SoV figure that's here solely to help existing unit/faction" because there's a lot of them and they're all very good
1) Tomoe Gozen - Samurai <3 2) Azurite Warlord - Romans <3 Er, I mean Armocs needed the love. And what a sculpt 3) Kursus - Monke with Explosion Pounce 4) B-11 - Unique Squad with only 1 power oozing with theme and gameplay possibilities. If I didn't already know otherwise you could tell me this was a Master Set 1 unit and I'd completely believe it. Custom Creators: make cards like this one 5) Tyrian - Syvarris with a focus on Move over Range is surprisingly fresh. I just hope this malevolent spirit isn't a Shade of Bleakewood ~TAF TAF was the Storyteller... in THE ENEMY'S LAST RETREAT |

Re: Our Community only gets 5 figures
I hate this so much, because I love almost all of the VC designs. I really have a hard time picking favorites when it comes to things that I like.
One of the aspects that would bug me the most about this is breaking up synergy webs. Any Mariedian hero is basically pointless to keep without the M-43 Resistance Fighters. The Demons are significantly less playable with the Acolytes of Vorganund. If you want any of the Varkaanan unique squads, you need at least 1 more, and probably a hero to make it worth keeping. As a result of that I'm going to make 2 lists. The first will be factions that I would keep as a whole, and the second will be specific designs that stand on their own. I'll also include a list of honorable mentions. Faction list: 1. Acolytes of Vorganund, and all the Demons. 2. M43 Resistance Fighters, and all the Mariedians (including the B-11s) 3. Nicholas Esenwein and the Thralls (My personal favorite, and most played faction) 4. Hoplitrons, and Major J15 (Executioner 616 could be included here, but they are good either way) 5. Master Lao Xin, and the Monk Heros (Lao Xin single handedly makes the Monks one of my favorite factions to play. I liked them before, but he makes them tournament viable) Faction Honorable Mentions: Omegacron and the VC Cron heros Dreadgul Raiders Amberhive Protectors Varkaanans Kantono Daishi Durgeth Ravagers and Uzog Zettian Infantry and Executioner 616 Zaeus and the futuristic Gorilla faction Clayton Pierce and the VC Cowboys The Children of the Dark Star and the Outsider Faction (you'll see them soon) Individual designs that I like on their own: 1. Van Nessing 2. Ulfrid Hornwrangler 3. Skeletons of Annellintia 4. Gothlock 5. Rygarn Honorable Mentions: Quahon Vulcanmech Incendiborgs Gen. Simon Fraser Ranjit Singh Tomoe Gozen Heracles Zombie Hulk Knights of Blackgaard Brute Gruts Ashi-Dhulu Brimstone Microcorp Troopers I had to trim these lists a lot. I started typing this up almost 2 hours ago. My Custom Designs.

Quote:
Quahon, Master Lao Xin, Chen Tang, Yi Feng, Garrett Burns, Teeth of the Makwa, Arashara Goshiri, Van Nessing, and I would add Skeletons of Annellintia if I could ever find the figures. |

Re: Our Community only gets 5 figures
I guess I'm a real sucker for factions. These guys jump to the surface of my thoughts:

Re: Our Community only gets 5 figures
In no particular order
Incendiborgs (balances with so many heavy classics) Dreadgul Raiders (brings some classics into play) Quahon (makes the Spiders really competitive) Rygarn (makes every army interesting) Kon-Tar-Na (great alternative with the grubs) follow up question for a future post - what five classics would you get rid of? What GenCon taught me was to assume only one skull on three dice! |

Re: Our Community only gets 5 figures
The way I'd approach this is by thinking about armies I particularly like to play and including the figures that enable those. Unfortunately picking the Varks would basically take the whole list so they are out. The Large Construct build is also really dependent on customs. So...

Re: Our Community only gets 5 figures
Zettian... Guards?
My list: 1. Dreadgul Raiders Easy choice for me, these guys have a classic feel and are a really fun bonding army with lots of flexibility. 2. Heracles The best one-man army to come out of VC. Plus the fact that he wrecks Hydras is a big theme win. 3. Quahon Big Blue is a big win. Spiders are fun. 4. 12th Caucasus Rifles Yay historical figures! I realllly like the Romans/Marcus/12th build. 5. Havech Eradicators If stingers actually had powers on their card. The melee/range dynamic is great, 4/4 stats with 6 move is also great. |

Re: Our Community only gets 5 figures
I'm going to liberally interpret "five figures" to mean "five units or small synergy clusters." Otherwise I have to ignore some potential choices because they don't work right without their tightly coupled partner units.
My favorite Heroscape games have been with my kids, especially when they were younger and we thus engaged with the figures on a more emotional than strategic level. Because of that I guess I've always been partial to VC units that really "looked the part," as if they could have come straight from Hasbro. Sadly most other games produce crappier-looking minis than Heroscape, and as time goes on I guess you have to make bigger and bigger compromises. But there have been some real gems along the way. Here are some of my favorites, in no particular order and paying no mind to their actual competitive value.
